Should probably throw some questions at you first - I think we're all just very distracted is all.


Is this from Lord of the Rings?
Was it spoken by a wizard?

"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

Yes, from The Lord of the Rings.

No, not spoken by a wizard.

No, spoken much later than when they met him.

Edit to bring it to the new page:

Something is tickling the back of my brain. Is it closer to "Once seen, not easily forgotten"?

elengil, not the Nazgûl.

Alatar, the translation I posted is closer to the original. The meaning didn't really change in the translation.

Yes to Frelga, no to Alatar.

If you include me, then I say elengil is the rightful solver. I was thinking Rohan and nowhere near the Oliphants.
